An example: When compressing a snare track with a standard compressor,
if the snare hits are sparse, the compressor will release between each hit, so

much between the snare hits. The compressor will still release somewhat dur-
ing the snare hits, however.

Threshold defines the input level at which limiting or compres-

The available range is +20 dB to –10 dB. A range of 0 dB to
